about

The long-lost instrumental soundtrack for the art-house film Llewellen (Dir. Gavin Watts, 2023) has finally been unearthed, and it is a hauntingly beautiful collection of music that perfectly captures the film's mysterious, atmospheric vibe. Set in Mexico and the West Texas desert, Llewellyn is a slow-burning mystery that relies on atmosphere and mood to draw in the audience, and the soundtrack does an excellent job of creating that sense of mystery and intrigue.

Composed by the enigmatic composers THE REFORMERS, the Llewellen soundtrack is a moody, atmospheric collection of instrumental pieces that perfectly capture the film's unique blend of abstract influences, icons, and visuals. The music goes from sparse and minimalist to epic and dense walls of sound, with piercing melodic guitar lines and mournful strings and synth layers that evoke the lonely, desperate landscapes of the film's settings and its characters.

From the opening track, "Blood Warrant," which sets the mood with its arpeggiated synth, guitar counterpoint melody and brooding strings, to the hauntingly beautiful "Eyes Closed," the music on the Llewellen soundtrack is a masterclass in atmospheric film composition. Although the music is relentless in this, often considered, ‘music film’, THE REFORMERS’ occasional use of silence, and masterful use of space, is effective in creating a sense of tension and unease that perfectly mirrors the film's slow-burning mystery.

Overall, the long-lost Llewellen soundtrack is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric, instrumental film music. THE REFORMERS’ compositions perfectly capture the gritty nature of film, creating a truly immersive listening experience that is both beautiful and unforgettable. Highly recommended.
